I use davidloo tutorial and I wanna add some point from my experience.
1. sudo apt-get install git automake gnome-sharp2 mono-xsp4
2. git clone https://github.com/mono/monodevelop.git
3. cd monodevelop
4. ./configure –profile=stable
At this point I have error “No package ‘glade-sharp-2.0’ found.” and with ‘monodoc’ package.
The solution is to install that packages from synaptic.
apt-get install synaptic
Check this on synaptic and click Apply :
And run configure again.
4. ./configure –profile=stable
5. sudo make install
And now you have MonoDevelop 5.1 and .net 4.5.
Awesome, your guide really works.
Just a detail with this line ./configure –profile=stable the “–” is actually a “- -” (double dash, 2 dashes in a row) I think wordpress by some reason shows one dash instead of 2 dashes.
Thanks for your post, it really helped me.
http://monodevelop.com/download mentions doing
$ cd monodevelop
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
Thanks for your informative post. I’ve re-created with some updated/improved steps:
Thanks for your addition.
I wanna update my monodevelop to v5.7.
And since I build from git, I just fetch from github and build it.

During my installation I found problem with missing “referenceassemblies-pcl” package (error during “make”). Installing it using apt-get fixed the problem.
Not for me:
cat /etc/lsb-release
